IDENTITY

(BY TOKEDE KOLAWOLE)


You are the only ruler in your kingdom. 

Though you may decide to have advisers in form of people you love, respect and look up to, you have sole authority in your palace.

As long as what you believe your convictions and actions are not harmful to your fellow man and not in any way disobedient to God, please engage in it with all pomp and fanfare.

No one is allowed to belittle your unique way of thinking, speaking and acting. Every other person's conviction is not yours.

Your end goal may be the same, however, the path to get there will probably be as different as night and day.


There are no absolutes (except the word of God), only perspectives, for God knows why He made us differently, and variety is the spice of life. Many roads lead to Rome (home.) We all cannot pass the same route at the same time because narrow is the way.


The wide path is for people who have no idea of who and whose they are. Who are unaware of the Royal gene they carry. That's why they want to be like everyone else in their thinking, wording and doing.


I'll say it again and again REVEL IN YOUR UNIQUESS AND FOCUS ON YOUR FOCUS BECAUSE THERE'S NO ONE ELSE LIKE YOU.


Those whose words you accept as absolute were able to say their truth. If you look closely, you'll find that they speak their own truth. The other persons you look up to have their own version of the truth. If you decide to accept all of their truth, you'll become as confused as a vegetable. Your voice is as important as any one else's!


Simply because they act like they've got everything working for them (possibly true) is not enough reason for you to doubt your greatness.


Man, know thyself, it'll save you a lot of stress.


Confusion sets in when identity is lacking. Being swayed left, right and center is the not a good position to be in. There's so much decay and rut is in our society because majority want to be like the few they see as successful forgetting that success is already theirs.


What exactly is the meaning of success? When we are able to define what success means to us as individuals, maybe, just maybe we'll know peace and not burn oueselves up trying to meet up with society and media's definition of success.

You are the only ruler in your kingdom. May God grant us the wisdom to revel in our uniqueness.


I say a big Amen.

WITH GOD, WE'LL RUN THROUGH A TROOP

Like Humpty Dumpty in a house of cards Your house fell down like the walls of Jericho [And it's hard to pick up the spare parts] Every spring of idea became a dying plant (God forbid!) Something of colour ends up in monochrome  Look before you leap, are words of wisdom But what if faith is leaping before you look? Or is faith leaping before you look? And where then does that place our reasoning? Is it still faith if it breaks like a broom? And what if this leap doesn't pay as due? Should our faith in God make everything (exactly) possible? However, base your plans on something solid Not something that could go up in smoke Do not be too hasty to strike gold Neither delay too long a decisive blow  Be confident in your ability to win the race But don't jump the gun and think it's going to be okay (it's not!) Have faith in God, believe he can do all things But don't back yourself into a corner and put your God to test... Like refusing to serve in a tennis game Then ...

THE ROAD IS NEVER ALONE

I Spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and watch, my child— The road is never alone! Listen, he said, the road is never alone! Your joy is yours, and so is sadness, Listen carefully, he said, my child— The road is never alone, And so you never walk alone! The path is lonely, and the lane is dark, Your mind is filled With a lot of things you can't track, Still, you never walk alone. Dark skies like a blacked-out picture, Blowing like garments without cincture, Tripping your feet chasing the future, Bad news that keeps the soul injured; At times, happiness becomes a decoy, Deflecting attention like a wind-up toy, But sadness remains behind the smile, Mind shattering like a broken tile… But I spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and wa...
